Lepidolite is often found as a pretty purple/lavender colored stone. It often looks like it has tiny glitter pieces in it due to the mica content of this stone. It can also come in grey, yellow and pinkish colors, but is most commonly found in shades of purple and lavender.

One of lepidolite’s most common and useful energies is that it aids in recovery from addictions such as alcoholism and drug use. It is sometimes even referred to as the “addict’s stone” because it can relieve the stress of dependency.

Lepidolite is also known as a transition stone and helps one to recognize old patterns within one’s self that need to be acknowledged and attended to. It can aid in that process by inducing those changes in the old patterns with a gentle and loving energy. If there is something in your life that you wish to change but you feel you haven’t found the strength to do so, lepidolite can help you find that strength. While doing so, keep in mind that it is gentle and loving in its ability to help you let go of those old patterns. Rather than forcing you to change, lepidolite helps you decide that you are ready to change.

Lepidolite helps to open all of the chakras but is especially tied to the third eye chakra and the heart chakra. In energy and Reiki work it opens blockages in the physical body. It can ease the pain of tight shoulder muscles and relieve stress-related disorders, including digestion problems and nerve imbalances.

I have personally used lepidolite to help balance emotions. If I am feeling particularly emotional on any given day I will just carry a piece with me to help me balance out emotionally. It also works well with grounding stones. Stones such as Apache tear or black tourmaline help keep negative emotions away from you. Lepidolite has a high lithium content and because of this, it has a balancing effect on people emotionally. You can also use Lepidolite to help read the Akashic records. In grid work, you can use it around the house to help create a peaceful and stress-free environment.

You can also try bathing with a few pieces of lepidolite in your bath water, which is a wonderful way to use the energies of this stone.
